The end of the school year is fast approaching and lots of activities in the month of May. It started with career day which Scott did for the preschool, kindergarten and first grades. The kids made him come back in the fire truck to pick them up from school. That was on the 2nd. On the 7th Brandon went to the water festival at CSU-Pueblo. They were off of school on the 8th and 9th for literacy testing. On the 13th was their vocabulary parade. The kids are supposed to pick a word and make a costume out of it. Brandon didn't have a choice, he had to draw words and he got convulsed. All I could think of to do was get a white tshirt and put wavy lines on it. Jessie had the word lavender. She dressed all in purple and I made her a lavender flower crown and she had a lavender flower attached to her word card. They were really excited until they came home disappointed because there was no parade they just sat in their classrooms being judged and then had to sit during an assembly and watch the winners go up in front of the class. Jessie's field trip on the 15th was better. We went to the railroad musuem where they got to ride a train to and from the musuem. They didn't get much else out of it but they got to ride the train so they didn't care. Then we went to the park to eat lunch and play for a bit. After lunch we loaded up and went to the children's museum. They listened to two stories and then broke up into groups. Our group went to see the art first. I realize that they figure kids aren't that into looking at art but they barely gave them any time to look at anything. Then we went into the children's museum and they played in there for the second half. Nobody stayed on any area for more than five minutes I don't think. I took Jess home from there so she got a little extra time with me before Brandon got home. She had a good day. Brandon went to the dinosaur museum in Woodland Park on the 16th. We couldn't go because we couldn't afford the gas to get there. He was disappointed but I gave him a prepaid phone to use in case of an emergency and he felt very grown up. Of course now he wants to keep it. He took a bunch of pictures with the camera to show us.
Pat and Jim also came to visit this weekend. The kids were so excited they were coming I think they were a little overwhelming at times. We went to see them Friday after noon and then went out to dinner at Country Buffet for Aunt Pat's birthday. On Saturday we went to see Groods at the movies. That is a cute movie. That night everyone came to my house for a birthday party for Aunt Pat. We did a Hawaiian theme and everyone had leis and their own wild cup. I will get pics later and post them. Sunday everyone came out again and we visited and ate pizza. GG got stuck in my bathroom(the doorknob sticks sometimes) and Mom and Jim especially thought that was hilarious for some reason. They got their giggle fest in at least. We really enjoyed having them and can't wait to see them next year.
Next up is Brandon's field trip to the symphony, AR fun day and Teddy bear day for Jess, Field day, Memorial day and the last day of school.
